Ravi Shastri takes out Indian team for dinner after drawn Test

Team India director 'took special initiative to host a dinner at a club in Dhaka'

Fatullah: Team director Ravi Shastri hosted the entire Test squad for a 'Team Dinner' on Sunday to celebrate a good performance in the rain-marred one-off cricket Test.

"It was Ravi who took special initiative to host a dinner at a club in the posh Gulshan area of Dhaka. The team members were told that it's been a moral victory for them as our opponents were never in the match. Another reason for hosting the dinner is because Test team members like Harbhajan Singh, Wriddhiman Saha will be leaving for India tomorrow," a source close to Team management told PTI on Sunday.

There are talks that India might send a junior team to Zimbabwe under the three assistant coaches while Shastri will resume his duties from Sri Lanka tour.

"Nothing is final as of now. There are discussions in BCCI on this issue but a call on this will only be taken after three-match series is over," the source added.
